[QUOTE="Chaos, post: 23637, member: 121"] Yeah even I have that feeling. Maybe he used a rather poorly ventilated case. The absolute temperatures depend a lot upon case airflow. The same HSF can be 20 degrees hotter if there is no fresh air flowing over it. Along with that another thing that can make a tremendous difference is the thermal compound used for mounting the HSF. I saw a 6 degree drop in idle temps from the same. You can rule out the issue of software as on my pc, speed fan and smartguardian report exactly the same temps. Also its not a thermal probe calibration issue as I mentioned earlier since I have the same motherboard. [/QUOTE]
